How Can I Confirm My Alexa Skill Is Working?

The best way to confirm your Alexa skill is working is to sign in to the Alexa Developer Console, review your invocation phrases, and test those phrases with your Alexa device.

  1. Sign in to the Alexa Developer Console and open your skill.

  2. Review the invocation phrases. Confirm the invocation name and supported phrases in the Build section to ensure they match what you expect users to say.

  3. Test with an Alexa device. Use your invocation phrases (for example, “Alexa, open [Your Skill Name]”) to verify the skill responds as expected.

Additionally, we recommend checking the Analytics section in the Alexa Developer Console. The analytics provide valuable metrics about skill enablements, invocations, and overall performance. This information can help you monitor usage and ensure your Alexa skill is functioning as expected.

Tip: You can also use the Test tab in the Alexa Developer Console to simulate requests if you don’t have an Alexa device available.
